than on the man. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, builder-grade sack of tears for the rest of your life. Your studs can move past it, and heal.

FilthyImp posted:If your bathroom has enough space to plop a soaker tub dab in the middle of it, you basically need that thing there to eat up the space because otherwise it's too loving huge. At that scale, it's not about efficient space design, it's about elevating the experience of luxuriating in your giant rear end poop-cathedral. A giant bathroom also gives you the flexibility to replace the tub with a bed, and rent it out as a bedroom with ensuite. http://www.worstroom.com/post/59022151248/vancouver-bc-50000-newly-finished-1-bedroom  "Come pay $500 to live in my shitter" may only work in certain cities though.

I pay like $600 a month for one half of a 2 story duplex and it's like I'm living in affluence. I went from one 12'x12' bedroom to have TWO FLOORS WITH TWO BEDROOMS. Cons: About a half mile down the road the neighborhood is super sketch, but if you go another half mile the opposite way there's a gated community.

Freakbox posted:Sure, if you're interested. Mostly I just took some closeup shots of terrible wallpaper patterns and the (currently dirty) cabinetry my grandmother thought was "very parisian". Also, the adorable scalloped poo poo above my very brown sink. I saw the cabinetry in you album. My grandma has the same style. She's 84 and her house hasn't changed since the 70s and since I've been alive it's always amazingly clean. Bonus tiled countertops. Honestly I love it and wouldn't change a thing, but probably because she's kept it in tip-top shape. Off camera there is storage space for towels and even a dirty clothes bin built in.

I kind of love that crocheted towel hanger with the rings. Not the color, though it does match the rest of the room quite nicely, but I want that in, like, a pale blue or steel gray in my guest bathroom.

Fibers can be easily dyed to something else, so if you ever find something like that at a thrift store I'd try it out.

My grandfather made a ton of that stuff back when it was in style (hanging baskets, etc). Might be a fun project, if you're into that kind of crafty hobby stuff.

As a kid we made macrame plant holders and stuff in school, at camp, etc., I was born in '72 though, so maybe they don't teach that anymore. That particular towel holder isn't even made to look like a frog or an owl or anything, it would probably take just a few hours to DYI while binging netflix. You don't need special tools or anything, it's just tying knots in cords, and there are lots of free macrame patterns available online. Just don't use jute twine, it's cheap and looks very rustic but rips your delicate finger skin to shreds -- I can only assume that one arts and crafts teacher hated us.  Or there are a million 'vintage' ones for sale on etsy, but those are mostly in awful 70s colors.

It isn't changing color. On the upside it can't be stained accidentally, you can just rinse any water stains or whatever right off.

Oh, macrame. Even better. I can probably get one of my aunts to make me one. I learned to crochet briefly when it was trendy in the dorms. It lasted all of one scarf, when I realized I was burning a lot of time I could have spent drawing instead.

Nice. All I know about polyester is that growing up it seemed drat near immortal. In the 80s I was still inheriting ugly hand-me-down polyester clothes that were at least 10 years old and just wouldn't die. Couldn't be stained. The only hope of killing them was to get them to start to unravel.

If the OP is still lurking. If you have to tear up the bathroom floor to fix your beams--sound proof the floor/fill those cavities with insulation.

So as a FEMALE who did a full DIY gut job on my bathroom and designed it - here's an album of what I did. http://imgur.com/a/sshEl I didn't have nearly as much space as you to work with and unfortunately there are zero windows so no natural light. I did every thing I could however to make it as bright and open feeling as possible. Also if you don't install a bidet you are missing out. Ladies - Bidets are so loving awesome for getting fresh post sexy times. If you want to be the guy who fucks - get a bidet. Also I've been in Drape's amazing tiny blue tile sunken bath tub during a party. That poo poo is hilarious. I feel like it should be preserved like a museum piece for crazy poo poo people did during the 60s. silicone thrills fucked around with this message at 02:43 on May 12, 2017 |

Want. A couple years ago they replaced our toilets with smaller, more efficient toilets. Fair enough. But that wasn't enough, they also put in an inch thick foam liner. And set it so the now very tiny tank only fills up halfway. The toilet has to be scrubbed way more often than the old, inefficient one. Sometimes you need to flush two or three times with a big poop. Worse, one day I was sick and had high velocity diarrhea coat the whole bowl, and then when I flushed I found out there are a couple large patches that don't get wet at all. I had to squirt the shower in there otherwise the poop film wouldn't ever rinse away. That really wasn't something I wanted to deal with when I was already feeling sick.I'm considering installing an aftermarket bidet attachment just so I have an easy way to rinse the toilet (and also my butt, of course, but mostly the toilet). That's probably going to waste way more water than if they just left me with a normal working toilet.

By the way, Op, since you're going to all this expense anyway, consider getting one of those fancy japanese toilets that will wash and blow dry your butt for you. I think they are self cleaning too? Nothing makes the panties drop like a fancy toilet.

Even if you did miss out on cutting into your trusses to sink the tub... Your tile work looks like you took your time and got it perfect. If your suction cup soap dish stops sucking, you can always epoxy on a soap dish and/or shampoo shelf. Pencil around what you are mounting. Lightly grind the spot. Erase the pencil marks. Use slow set epoxy and don't over do the epoxy. Getting the epoxy thickness and not squishing is the trick. Securing with something more than painters tape. (tape plus some wood underneath/a tripod arrangement--you just don't want it sliding down the wall after a few hours.). After the epoxy has cured, normally 48 hours, finish with caulk or grout/sealer. Have a torpedo level and some acetone/denatured on hand for any stray epoxy and it will look pro. e: Also, wondered what lights fixtures you used?

Not a relatively recent build that was (gasp!) builder grade! Even though I have much more traditional tastes in decor, I like it because it's clearly well thought out and well executed.
